Dutch households put far more money into shares than into crypto, according to figures from the central bank DNB reported by Crypto Insiders on November 7. The data cover the end of June 2026.
Households held 74.7 billion euros in direct shares. ASML was the largest single position at about 6 billion euros, followed by Shell at about 4.1 billion, Rabobank certificates at just over 4 billion and ING at about 2.8 billion.
Crypto holdings at Dutch providers came to at least 3.2 billion euros, of which bitcoin accounted for 1.5 billion and ethereum for 0.3 billion. Crypto Insiders stresses that the crypto figures only include holdings at Dutch crypto providers. Coins kept on foreign exchanges or in self-custody wallets are not counted, so total Dutch crypto ownership is likely higher.
The wider picture puts those numbers in context. Investment funds held 153 billion euros and bonds 6.4 billion, bringing shares, funds and bonds to 234.2 billion euros combined. Savings accounts, by comparison, held 552.6 billion euros.
On those figures, crypto remains a small slice of household wealth in the Netherlands, well behind both equity investments and cash savings. Bitcoin makes up about half of the crypto total recorded by DNB, with ethereum a distant second among the assets the article breaks out.
The numbers show where Dutch money sits as of mid-2026, and they do not reflect price moves since then.
